Back-to-Back: Corra Named Magento Partner of Excellence for Second Year in a Row

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2013) - Corra, a leading provider of eCommerce and mobile commerce solutions, is proud to announce it has been honored with the 2012 Magento Partner Excellence Award. The agency was recognized at Magento's Imagine eCommerce Conference in Las Vegas on April 10^th, 2013. This is the second consecutive year Corra has received this award. The distinction reaffirms Corra's commitment to superior quality and service, which is also reflected in its recent company rebrand. 

Magento is the world's fastest growing eCommerce platform, offering merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. The Magento Partner Excellence Award is an annual recognition of partners who have delivered exemplary service to clients running the platform. Evaluations are based on Magento Enterprise competence, customer surveys and number of licenses sold. Out of more than 300 solutions partners, Corra was one of only four U.S.-based firms to receive the prestigious award.

"We're delighted to receive a Partner Excellence Award for the second year in a row," said Ron Bongo, CEO of Corra. "Our commitments to continually improving process, hiring top talent and building a culture centered on quality have played a major role in our success. To be recognized by our own clients as a team that lives up to that standard is truly an honor."

Corra also earned some notable recognition from keynote speaker, John Donahoe, President and CEO of eBay. During his address, Donahoe mentioned Corra as an example of a company that has embraced entrepreneurship, noting its tremendous growth over the last decade after partnering with Magento. In that time it has grown from 15 to 75 employees and increasing its billing by 400 percent.

Beyond receiving the award and notable praise, Corra hosted the highly anticipated Pre-Imagine Party, which quickly filled to capacity and kicked off the entire conference. Corra also moderated the lead-off Business Track breakout session, titled "Growing Strong: How Start-Ups and SMBs Grow With Magento Enterprise." Moderated by Michael Harvey, COO of Corra, the session featured a panel of SMB executives who have successfully implemented Magento Enterprise. The group included Ryan Bonifacino, Vice President of Digital Strategy for Alex and Ani; Alex Cranmer, Vice President of International Military Antiques; Frank DiRocco, Associate Project Manager for Peer1 Hosting; and Darren Johnson, Director of eCommerce for Lovesac. The panel provided attendees with practical tips and first-hand stories focusing on how to manage growth while using the platform.
